John Marshall High School ran through a strong field on its way to its first Chick-fil-A Classic championship. During the Dec. 27-30 tournament, John Marshall defeated two nationally-ranked opponents, including Friday’s 68-55 win over Wheeler (Ga,) to win the American Bracket title at River Bluff High School.
The Justices defeated Columbus (Fla.) last Thursday to make it to the championship game. Columbus High was No. 12 in ESPN’s high school rankings while Wheeler was 17th.
North Carolina State-bound Dennis Parker led John Marshall with 23 points in the win. Guard Damon Thompson, Jr. added 17 points and was named the bracket’s MVP.
